This study proposes a comprehensive Farm Information Management System (FIMS) design and database management strategy for addressing the specific requirements of Indonesian agriculture, with a particular emphasis on fertilizer recommendation and financial record management. The study employs the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology as a framework for directing the system’s design, development, and implementation. The goal of the FIMS is to provide producers with a user-friendly interface to access accurate fertilizer recommendations based on crop-specific requirements and local soil conditions. Additionally, the system includes a robust financial record function to aid producers in effectively managing their income, expenses, and investments. The proposed SDLC-based approach assures a structured and methodical development process, including requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Using the SDLC methodology, this study seeks to develop a scalable, secure, and interoperable FIMS that can be effectively integrated into Indonesia’s existing agricultural infrastructure. The effectiveness and usability of the proposed system will be determined through extensive testing and evaluation to ensure its suitability and functionality in actual agricultural contexts. Ultimately, the proposed Farm Information Management System, developed using the SDLC method, aims to empower Indonesian farmers with optimized fertilizer recommendations and streamlined financial record management, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture practices, and enhanced economic incomes for the nations.
